Help with Air Manager + G5's + JustFlight Arrow III Autopilot Issue (MSFS2020)

#1 Post by ebaydan777 »

Hello,

I am using the Dual G5's I paid for in air manager, and on the cessna or other aircraft, I have no problem using my honeycomb throttle to put Vertical Sync VS to +400 and set altitude to 1500 feet for example. The G5 will release VS and then altitude hold at set altitude. However, for the JustFlight Arrow III, I had this working before, and now it's not working. Once I hit altitude, VS just keeps it going up higher without holding at altitude. Not sure what happened but I tried uninstalling air manager and reinstalling, along with the plugin file. If theres any knowledge to why this might be happening, please let me know. If anyone has suggestions, again it should be basing off the G5's altitude hold, but VS never releases and I cant figure out why.

Daniel

Ooops sorry, it's in the title :oops:

I don't own the JustFlight, rather the Carenado PA28R Arrow III, I can have a look into it if you want though ?

Would be great! Just curious if that aircraft has altitude catch once VS brings it to that altitude and holds it there or not. I swear it did and now it won’t work

It took time, as I had to switch flight controls from helicopter to aircraft

Yes the G5 works fine together with the Carenado PA28R Arrow III

Shoot that’s the carenado version which works but I’m testing JustFlight

Question: are you able to turn VS to idk anything +500 and set an altitude above that, and when it reaches that altitude then VS will turn on and altitude select at desired altitude or does it blow through the altitude selected in the G5? Thanks!

I was climbing to 3500 ft as of the screenshot, and the aircraft level off at 3500 ft as expected

I know but that’s the wrong plane. Trying to test it in the just flight version because it is capable of bringing GTN 750’s on board. But it won’t do the same vertical sync you’re trying
